AKammenzind Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 This afternoon I had to do some reading for one of my classes (the sociology of deviance), and I decided to fire up the hookah and try some layalina vanilla. I have a 22" egyptian from socialsmoke and it doesn't take much liquid to fill the base up, so I decided to use a 2-litre of rootbeer I found in the basement.Long story short, It made for probably the most flavorful, and definitely the smoothest smoke I've had. Wasn't the thickest, but it was definitely up there. If any of you guys haven't tried rootbeer in the base with some vanilla I'd highly recommend it. Kinda like smoking a rootbeer float.

gaia.plateau Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) Totally different from Ginger Beer, but you should give that a go and let us know!AK was the soda carbonated, or flat? I've always been hesitant to use carbonated liquids. Edited January 29, 2008 by gaia.plateau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke69 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 lol Ginger beer is way different. Root beer is like sasparilla, if you know what that is. But i do enjoy a shandy once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 No Alcohol in ginger beer.Never seen 'root beer' in the uk... Will have to nose around for it. Ginger beer is bloody spicy - So It might compliment a bland shisha. I'll give it a whirl.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1v3th3ad Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 (edited) ginger beer = ginger ale in the U.S. seagrams, canaga dry, sierra mist, seven up to say some, the last two aren't exactly ginger ale, but similiar.Root beer Mug, A & W, Barq's, Stewart's.Those are the top brands here that I can think of.If you ever had Dr.Pepper, its like that except not so crisp and a lot sweeter.

I've always been hesitant to use carbonated liquids.It was carbonated, I actually had to wait 5-10 mins after pouring for all the foam to go down (you know how that stuff foams up... it gets a head on it like no beer in existance) But in that time I just packed the bowl, lit the coals, got a drink, etc. I use lots of pop (or soda, or coke depending on where yinz are) and haven't had any problems, why so hesitant? And now that it's been mentioned I'll have to try cream soda, love that stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
